  1. I got my copy of "FROM THE PLATFORM" over the weekend,dope book "CAVS"and "KEY".I said it before and I'll say it again,it would of been a terrible loss if these trains were not documented.You look at the subway stations and the trains now and it looks like that time period in the 1980's never took place.I like those rooftop shots in the book,it really gives you a feel like your right there.Shout out to COLE T. ONLY and all the photographers back in the day for the dedication ya'll put into it.Both books,"FROM THE PLATFORM",and "STEEL WHEELS" filled that mid to late 1980's gap of train flicks nicely.

  2. If you go to flickr I think that flick your talking about is on there.Go to the search box and type in pelham bay graffiti.There's someone with a flick collection from that time period.It's Philllips Photostream-1990's Graffiti:Bronx.

  3. Props to "REVS",the first graffiti flick I ever took was a picture of the piece REVLON did on canal st.It was dated 1985,but I took the flick in 1988 out of my mother's car window with a polaroid camera.It said THE ART AND ANTIQUE CENTER.That REVLON piece that got niped by the RAM "R" is in the STEEL WHEELS 1986-1997 book.Thanks for droppin' knowledge 1959 RUSTO.

  4. Shout out to COLE T.ONLY.I got a copy of STEEL WHEELS 1986-1997 the other day.This is the best book I've read on the NewYork subway writing movement since I got PHASE TOO's book back in 1996.Thanks for sharing your flick collection with the rest of the world.I always wanted a book that covered the mid to late 1980's, and your book does just that.I'm glad you shed light on your shoe box.KIES7,TEKAY,MAGOO2 DOME TDC,that LACE357 top to bottom,DERO,SENTO,etc...off the chain shit.Alot of the photos I never saw before,and you seen them right in front of you.It would have been a terrible loss if these trains were never documented.

  5. I agree,after a while it does get silly,but the problem is that when these books get made alot of pieces and writers that should be documented get left out.The fame aspect of graffiti has fucked it all up,so now you get a book filled up with an authors subjective view of what he feels should go in the book instead of just telling it like it really was and is.So you end up reading about the same dudes over and over again.Hopefully in the near future will see and read books from authors that do serious research,instead of just shouting out their boys and proping up the crews that they belong to."GRAFFITI KINGS" is one of the best books i've read so far.

  6. Banging ass "DUSTER" jump off's right here! Dope posts! Ya got tha "STYLEWARS" pause right there.You got press the remote real fast when that train pops up on the the screen.All these pieces could rock in 2010 without any problem,and they were done 25 plus years ago!
